TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a ring-shaped insert molded article that is manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset additive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped insert to a plastic.

BACKGROUND ART

As ring-shaped insert molded articles manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset additive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped metallic part as an insert to a plastic and then the insert and the plastic are placed in a metal mold, there have been suggested axial (axially opposed-type) magnetic encoders (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2, and Patent Document 3, FIG. 2) and radial (radial opposed-type) magnetic encoders (for example, refer to Patent Document 3, FIG. 9 and Patent Document 4), which are used in devices for detecting the rotation speed of a rotating body.

Such injection molding of magnetic encoders is performed in many cases such that a molten resin is injected into a metal mold from a disc gate placed at the radially inner side of the insert molded article for the viewpoint of the orientation of magnetic substance powder in the molten resin (refer to Patent Document 2, paragraphs [0017] to [0023], Patent Document 3, paragraph [0034], and Patent Document 4, the description in the prior art section).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problems

In the magnetic encoders manufactured by disc gate-type insert molding as described above, an additive layer intervenes between a support member as an insert and a plastic magnet (for example, refer to Patent Document 1, paragraph [0026], Patent Document 2, paragraph [0035], and Patent Document 8, paragraph [0034]).

At manufacture of conventional magnetic encoders by disc gate-type insert molding, gate cutting is conducted in many cases at a boundary surface between the support member and the plastic magnet, as can be seen from the gate placement in the axial magnetic encoder shown in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 2 or the gate placement in the radial magnetic encoder shown in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 4.

Thus, since foreign matter such as dust generated from the cut resin may remain on the insert (for example, slinger 16 described in Patent Document 2 or rotor yoke 1 described in Patent Document 4). it is necessary to perform a post-process for removing the foreign matter. In addition, when the gate cutting is conducted on the boundary surface, a shearing load is applied to the boundary surface (joining surface between the insert and the plastic magnet) that is low in strength, which may cause degradation of adhesive performance.

In addition, if a metal mold structure with the gate position aligned to the inner peripheral surface of cylindrical part (annular part) of the ring-shaped support member is used in the axial magnetic encoder, the foreign matter does not remain on the insert, but burrs at the gate mark protrudes to the inner diameter side of the molded article. This requires additional work for removing the burrs.

In view of the foregoing circumstances, an issue to be solved by the present invention is to provide a ring-shaped insert molded article manufactured by injection molding using a disc gate in a state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped insert to a plastic and then the insert and the plastic are placed in a metal mold, wherein there is no need for the foregoing post-process or additional work after gate cutting and the adhesive performance does not deteriorate.

Solution to Problems

To solve the foregoing problems, a ring-shaped insert molded article according to the present invention is a ring-shaped insert molded article manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped insert to a plastic and then the insert and the plastic are placed in a metal mold, wherein the insert is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part and an annular part extended radially outward from one end edge of the cylindrical part, the plastic is annular in shape so as to be joined to the annular part of the insert, the inner diameter of the plastic is larger than the inner diameter of the annular part so that no burrs at a gate mark protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article, the injection molding is conducted with a disc gate arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from a surface of the annular part, and in the gate-cut state, the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from the surface of the annular part so that no foreign matter resulting from gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface to prevent degradation of adhesive performance.

According to this configuration, the inner diameter of the annular plastic is larger than the inner diameter of the annular part of the ring-shaped insert so that no burrs at the gate mark protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article, which thus eliminates the need for additional work to remove the burrs.

In addition, in the gate-cut state, the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from the surface of the annular part so that no foreign matter resulting from the gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface to prevent deterioration in adhesive performance. This eliminates the need to perform the post-process for removing the foreign matter because of absence of the foreign matter on the surface and prevents degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting.

It is preferred that the ring-shaped insert molded article is an axial magnetic encoder in which the ring-shaped insert is a support member and the plastic is a plastic magnet, the inner diameter of the plastic is 0.6 mm or more larger than the inner diameter of the annular part, and the gate mark resides at a position separated 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the annular part.

According to this configuration, in the case where the ring-shaped insert molded article is an axial magnetic encoder, it is ensured that the additional work and post-process are not needed after the gate cutting and degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting is prevented.

According to this configuration, the inner diameter of the curve part of the cylindrical plastic is sufficiently larger than the inner diameter of the annular part of the ring-shaped insert so that, no burrs at the gate mark protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article, which thus eliminates the need for additional work to remove the burrs. In addition, in the gate-cut state, the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at the position separated from the surface of the annular part so that no foreign matter resulting from the gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface to prevent deterioration in adhesive performance. This eliminates the need to perform the post-process for removing the foreign matter because of absence of the foreign matter on the surface and prevents degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described below with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings but includes all of embodiments meeting the requirements described in the patent claims.

First Embodiment

As shown in the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, a ring-shaped insert molded article 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped insert 2 to a plastic 4 and then the ring-shaped insert 2 and the plastic 4 are placed in a metal mold. An adhesive layer 6 intervenes between the ring-shaped insert 2 and the plastic 4.

In addition, the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is an axial magnetic encoder A in which the ring-shaped insert 2 is a support member and the plastic 4 is a plastic magnet.

The insert 2 is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part 2A and an annular part 2B extended radially outward from, one end edge of the cylindrical part 2A. The ring-shaped insert 2 is formed by pressing a stainless-steel plate of 0.6 mm thick, for example.

The shape of the ring-shaped insert 2 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1 as far as it includes at least the cylindrical part 2A and the annular part 2B.

The plastic 4 is annular in shape so as to be joined to the annular part 2B of the ring-shaped insert 2. Inner diameter D1 of the plastic 4 is larger than an inner diameter D2 of the annular part 2B (inner diameter of the cylindrical part 2A) (D1>D2) so that no burrs at a gate mark E protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article 1. Radial distance G between an inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 and an inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped insert 2 (inner peripheral surface of the annular part 2B) is 0.3 mm or more (G≧0.3 mm). Thus, a difference between the inner diameter D1 of the plastic 4 and the inner diameter D2 of the annular part 2B is 0.6 mm or more (D1-D2≧0.8 mm) and thickness T1 of the plastic 4 is 0.9 mm, for example.

In addition, the plastic 4 is formed by injection molding such that a disc gate described later is arranged on an inner peripheral surface F at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 2B. In the gate-cut state, the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from the surface of the annular par 2B, and a distance L1 from the surface of the annular part 2B to the gate mark E is 0.1 mm or more (L1≧0.1 mm), so that no foreign, matter resulting from gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface between the ring-shaped insert 2 and the plastic 4 to prevent degradation of adhesive performance as described later.

The plastic (plastic magnet) 4 is formed by a magnetic material containing magnetic substance powder, a binder, and an additive. The magnetic substance powder may be preferably magnetic powder based on ferrite such as strontium ferrite or barium ferrite, or rare-earth magnetic powder based on neodymium or samarium. The binder may be preferably a thermoplastic resin material such as polyamides (PA6, PA12, PA612, and the like) or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The additive may be preferably an organic additive such as carbon fiber, or an inorganic additive such as glass beads, glass fiber, talc, mica, silicon nitride (ceramic), or crystalline (non-crystalline) silica.

Next, an example of injection molding for manufacturing the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 and the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 3, an injection mold 8 is intended to mold the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (axial magnetic encoder A) and is attached to an injection molding machine by fixing a fixed attachment plate 9 to a fixed platen with a bolt and fixing a movable attachment plate 10 to a movable disc with a bolt.

In a state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to the joining surface of the ring-shaped insert 2 to the plastic 4 and then the ring-shaped insert 2 and the plastic 4 are placed in a fixed mold plate 11 and a movable mold plate 12 and then the mold plates are clamped, when a molten plastic P is poured into a sprue 13, the molten plastic P flows through a disc gate 15 via a runner 14 and is filled into a cavity C between the fixed mold plate 11 and the movable mold plate 12 (refer also to the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 4( a)).

The direction of extension of the sprue 13 (in which the molten plastic P is poured) is horizontal.

After the molten plastic P is cooled and hardened, as shown in the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 4( b), the movable mold plate 12 is opened from a parting line PL and a pre-gate cutting molded article and an insert core 18A are projected and ejected by ejectors 16 and 17 (refer to FIGS. 2 and 3), thereby obtaining the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core 18A.

Next, as shown in the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 4( c), while the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core 18A removed from the metal mold are set on a jig 20A, the molded article is pressurized by a pusher 21A to cut the gate. Thus, the gate mark E remains on the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (axial magnetic encoder A).

At the gate cutting as shown in FIG. 4( c), the insert core 18A is placed along the gate cutting part of the plastic such that the insert core 18A serves as a cutting blade to cut the gate by shearing action. This reduces load on the product at the time of gate cutting.

Next, an example of a metal mold structure different from the insert core type as shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

The enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 5 shows a slide core-type metal mold structure.

After the molten plastic P is filled into the cavity C and then is cooled and hardened as shown in FIG. 5( a), a slide core 19A is slid radially inward and separated from the molded article as shown in FIG. 5( b). In this state, the movable mold plate 12 is opened from the parting line PL and a pre-gate cutting molded article is projected and ejected by the ejector 16 (refer to FIG. 2), Thus, the pre-gate cutting molded article is obtained.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5( c), while the pre-gate cutting molded article removed from the metal mold is set on the jig 20A, the molded article is pressurized by the pusher 21A to cut the gate. The gate mark E remains on the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (axial magnetic encoder A).

According to the configuration of the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (axial magnetic encoder A) in the first embodiment, the inner diameter D1 of the annular plastic 4 is larger than the inner diameter D2 of the annular part 2B of the ring-shaped insert 2 so that no burrs at the gate mark E protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article 1, which thus eliminates the need for additional work to remove the burrs.

In addition, in the gate-cut state, the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 2B so that no foreign matter resulting from the gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface between the ring-shaped insert 2 and the plastic 4 to prevent deterioration in adhesive performance. This eliminates the need to perform a post-process for removing the foreign matter because of absence of the foreign matter on the surface and prevents degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting.

In addition, in the case where the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is an axial magnetic encoder A in which the ring-shaped insert 2 is a support member, the plastic 4 is a plastic magnet, the inner diameter D1 of the plastic 4 is 0.6 mm or more larger than the inner diameter D2 of the annular part 2B, and the gate mark E resides at a position separated 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the annular part 2B, and further in the case where the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is an axial magnetic encoder A, it is ensured that the additional work and post-process are not needed after the gate cutting and degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting is prevented.

Second Embodiment

As shown in the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to a joining surface of a ring-shaped insert 3 to a plastic 5 and then the ring-shaped insert 3 and the plastic 5 are placed in a metal mold, and the adhesive layer 6 intervenes between the ring-shaped insert 3 and the plastic 5.

In addition, the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is a radial magnetic encoder B in which the ring-shaped insert 3 is a support member and the plastic 5 is a plastic magnet.

The ring-shaped insert 3 is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part 3A and an annular part 3B extended radially inward from one end edge of the cylindrical part 3A. The ring-shaped insert 3 is formed by pressing a stainless-steel plate of 0.6 mm thick, for example.

The shape of the ring-shaped insert 3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6 as far as it includes at least the cylindrical part 3A and the annular part 3B.

The material for the plastic (plastic magnet) 5 is the same as that in the first embodiment. The plastic 5 is cylindrical in shape so as to be joined to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part 3A of the ring-shaped insert 3, and has a curve part 7 over the annular part 3B. Thickness T2 of the plastic 5 is 0.9 mm, for example.

In addition, the plastic 5 is injection-molded such that a disc gate is arranged on the inner peripheral surface F at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 3B. In the gate-cut state, the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 5 at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 3B, and a distance L2 from the surface of the annular part 3B to the gate mark E is 0.1 mm or more (L2≧0.1 mm), so that no foreign matter resulting from gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface between the ring-shaped insert 3 and the plastic 5 to prevent degradation of adhesive performance as described later.

Next, an example of injection molding for manufacturing the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (radial magnetic encoder B) can be manufactured using the same metal mold as the injection mold 8 shown in FIG. 2. After the molten plastic P is filled into the cavity C and then is cooled and hardened as shown in the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 7( a), the movable mold plate 12 is opened from the parting line PL and a pre-gate cutting molded article and an insert core 18B are projected and ejected by the ejectors 16 and 17 (refer to FIG. 2), thereby obtaining the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core 18B as shown in the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 7( b).

Next, as shown in the enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 7( c), while the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core 18B removed from the metal mold are set on a jig 20B, the molded article is pressurized by a pusher 21B to cut the gate. The gate mark E remains on the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (radial magnetic encoder B).

At the gate cutting as shown in FIG. 7( c), the insert core 18B is placed along the gate cutting part of the plastic such that the insert core 18B serves as a cutting blade to cut the gate by shearing action. This reduces load on the product at the time of gate cutting.

Next, an example of a metal mold structure different from the insert core type shown in FIG. 7 will be described.

The enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of major components of FIG. 8 shows a slide core-type metal mold structure.

After the molten plastic P is filled into the cavity C and then is cooled and hardened as shown in FIG. 8( a), a slide core 19B is slid radially inward and separated from the molded article as shown in FIG. 8( b). In this state, the movable mold plate 12 is opened from the parting line PL and a pre-gate cutting molded article is projected and ejected by the ejector 18 (refer to FIG. 2). Thus, the pre-gate cutting molded article is obtained.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8( c), while the pre-gate cutting molded article removed from the metal mold is set on the jig 20B, the molded article is pressurized by the pusher 21B to cut the gate. The gate mark E remains on the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (radial magnetic encoder B).

According to the configuration of the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 (radial magnetic encoder B) in the second embodiment, the inner diameter of the curve part 7 of the cylindrical plastic 5 is sufficiently larger than the inner diameter of the annular part 3B of the ring-shaped insert 3, and thus no burrs at the gate mark E protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article 1, which thus eliminates the need for additional work to remove the burrs.

In addition, in the gate-cut state, the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 5 at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 3B so that no foreign matter resulting from the gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface between the ring-shaped insert 3 and the plastic 5 to prevent deterioration in adhesive performance. This eliminates the need to perform a post-process for removing the foreign matter because of absence of the foreign matter on the surface and prevents degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting.

In addition, in the case where the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is a radial magnetic encoder B in which the ring-shaped insert 3 is a support member, the plastic 5 is a plastic magnet, and the gate mark E resides at a position separated 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the annular part 3B, and further in the case where the ring-shaped insert molded article 1 is a radial magnetic encoder B, it is ensured that the additional work and post-process are not needed after the gate cutting and degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting is prevented.

In the foregoing descriptions, the ring-shaped insert molded article is an axial magnetic encoder or a radial magnetic encoder. However, the ring-shaped insert molded article of the present, invention is not limited to them but can be manufactured in any manner by injection molding in the state where a thermoset adhesive is applied to the joining surface of the ring-shaped insert to the plastic and then the insert and the plastic are placed in the metal mold, such as an insert molded article with replacement of a ring-shaped metal.

In addition, the ring-shaped molded article of the present invention is configured such that, in the gate-cut state, the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from the surface of the annular part so that no foreign matter resulting from the gate cutting sticks to the surface and no shearing load is applied by gate cutting to the joining surface between the insert and the plastic to prevent deterioration in adhesive performance. This eliminates the need to perform the post-process for removing the foreign matter because of absence of the foreign matter on the surface and prevents degradation of adhesive performance caused by the gate cutting. Besides, no burrs at the gate mark protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article, which thus eliminates the need for additional work to remove the burrs. However, the process for removing the burrs may be performed on the ring-shaped insert molded article, depending on the specifications for the ring-shaped insert molded article.
